Oh the mojo is currently gone from this Mets team. Now it seems as if it's filled with a bunch of head scratching and questioning. Is the offense good enough? How bad can the bullpen possibly get? Can't guys play simple defense?
Over the past week, the Mets dropped five of six games to first place Washington and New York. They've dropped a full five games out of first place and only sit three games above the .500 mark. To make matters potentially worse, they are now down in Tampa Bay, another first place team, for a three game set.
The combination of Ike Davis and Jason Bay in the middle of the Mets line up is killing them offensively. They can't get any sort of sustained inning going because it's almost automatic both of those guys will get out. Enough is enough. One would think that the Mets could just reach down to the minors and call someone up to spark an ignition, but there's a problem with that. Most of those minor league players are already up in Queens due to injury.
The bullpen is in shambles. All over the place. Seems as if the only two consistent pitchers are Tim Byrdak and Bobby Parnell. Other than that, it's a complete crapshoot. It's saddening and maddening.
